a while back, years ago, I looked at switching to Linux but too many times instead of implementing a consistent interface and action set they would ape another OS (usually Windows) but only partially which leads to frustration as it almost works... I am not sure the desktop needs conquering, we have more than one option and Linux won't make it unless it can get apps that people just have to have

Developing an app for desktop Linux means targeting a small group of people who are willing to endure frustration in order to run code whose source is available. Unless you are have some other revenue stream besides your customer, you can't make it more than a hobby.
